The literal and metaphorical ups and downs of an ultra-running journey. Welcome to my blog! Camino de Santiago May 2015. Monday, January 05, 2015. Why Am I Doing The Spine…….again? I will stand on the start line of The Spine for the 4. 8221; seems to be a fairly common question. I decided to take part in this year’s race in November having been pondering it for a while. Well, it certainly isn’t to keep Jenny happy! So looks like I’m doing it for myself! In the Lakeland 100, 2. In the Viking Way Ultra and...

A Rua – Santiago de Compostela. 21km, total time on the way 3:30. Start thinking about my journey. The start in St Jean Pied de Port seems so long ago but also seems only like yesterday.

The literal and metaphorical ups and downs of an ultra-running journey. Welcome to my blog! Camino de Santiago May 2015. Sunday, July 13, 2014. Lakes 10 Peaks Xtreme. Last year’s Lakes 10 Peaks was tough, very tough; a 73km route with 5600m of ascent. So when the Xtreme course was announced my immediate thought was “Why not? 8220;The Xtreme course takes things to another level! The simple facts are that I finished joint 4. So I went for the no taper approach. This seems to have worked previously in t...

The literal and metaphorical ups and downs of an ultra-running journey. Welcome to my blog! Camino de Santiago May 2015. Saturday, May 31, 2014. Not the Hardmoors 160. Well, that didn’t go quite as planned! The grim facts. First person to pullout from the race, after 30 miles at CP3 (Cropton). A fully conscious decision, and one that I was happy with at the time and still just about am! It just wasn’t happening. We arrived at the start at Scalby Mills in good time, and I was beginning to get that ‘...

The literal and metaphorical ups and downs of an ultra-running journey. Welcome to my blog! Camino de Santiago May 2015. Monday, September 30, 2013. I've just returned from a great 5 days running in the Lakes, and as ever was struck by the beauty and wonder of nature. Fish, one of my absolute favourite artists, and probably the best lyricist I have ever come across, has recently released a very poignant new album "A Feast of Consequences". It's a brilliant album and there is a trailer here. Ordesa y Mont...

The literal and metaphorical ups and downs of an ultra-running journey. Welcome to my blog! Camino de Santiago May 2015. Thursday, July 23, 2015. Tomorrow I will start just my second race of the year, the Lakeland 100. This will be my 4. Last year, I went into the race with a dodgy Achilles again and remember telling Jenny that I’d either be out at CP1 again or finish. I was hoping for sub 30 hours, with a secret hope of sub 28 hours. I finished 16. Remember to smile for the cameras! I’d love to be...
